When the silver corpse with a silver-white body and a height of four meters stood in front of Li Shiming, he felt the terrifying power of this artificial creature.
But there was a smile on his face, because the silver corpse in front of him was his own silver corpse.
This was the trophy given to him by Elder Lu of the Senluo Sect. Before that, this silver corpse had been staying in the corpse refining space of the space ring. Since he had not reached the Jindan stage, it was unable to recognize its master.
After he reached the Jindan stage and stabilized his strength, he recognized this silver corpse as his master.
The process of recognizing the master is not troublesome at all. A silver corpse placed in the corpse refining space without any independent consciousness will not resist the recognition of the master at all.
In the corpse refining space, there are twelve iron corpses. Nezha and the other ten iron corpses have been transformed into three heads and six arms. The other iron corpse, Juetu, is a special refined corpse, using unparalleled murderous intent as its weapon.
These twelve iron corpses have reached the peak of strength, and Li Shiming has also invested a lot of effort in them.
Now that he has become a Jindan cultivator, the help of the Iron Corpse at the peak level is almost zero. He needs to upgrade the twelve Iron Corpses to Silver Corpses before they can provide him with combat power assistance.
But his two experiences with his clone Li Yuanba, one was Li Yuanba's promotion of corpse refining body, and the other was the promotion of generals, made him understand the difficulty of promotion of corpse refining.
If it were done in a normal way, these twelve iron corpses would be lucky if one or two of them could be promoted.
Otherwise, why would Elder Lu prepare so many iron corpses at once? Wasn't it just to prepare for failure in promotion?
Li Shiming didn't want any loss of these iron corpses. Any of the corpses that were favored by Elder Lu would be refined in the best furnace.
As Elder Lu is the de facto elder of Senluo Sect, he often comes into contact with talented cultivators with single spiritual roots. The ten iron corpses in the corpse refining space were all cultivators with single spiritual roots.
Anyway, with Li Shiming's identity, it is impossible for him to get so many corpses of single spiritual root cultivators. Every single spiritual root cultivator is an important talent for the sect.
He is not a demon cultivator, and it is even more impossible for him to kill people with whom he has no grudge just because he wants to refine a corpse.
Li Shiming put away the silver corpse. The strength of this silver corpse itself was very good, probably comparable to that of a middle-stage Golden Core.
This gives him a good shield for close combat. Of course, if there is a Jindan cultivator who breaks through the silver corpse's defense and fights him in close combat, then the Jindan cultivator will know his true close combat strength.
He summoned all the iron corpses again, and twelve iron corpses appeared in front of him.
He separated out twelve divine thoughts, one to control each of the twelve iron corpses. At the same time, he took out twelve third-grade formation flags and gave them to the twelve iron corpses.
Twelve iron corpses stood at twelve nodes respectively. The twelve third-grade formation flags in the hands of the iron corpses and the iron corpses themselves formed a formation.
'Nine-turn Lightning Array', a simple lightning array. The most special thing about this array is that the lightning power within the array is adjustable.
The 'Nine-Turn Lightning Array' can control the power of lightning from one turn to nine turns, and stimulate lightning power of nine levels of power respectively.
Just after the 'Nine-turn Thunder Array' was formed, the first turn of the array was activated. Threads of lightning power formed in the array, and the lightning power covered the bodies of the twelve iron corpses.
The power of thunder and lightning and the cold power on the iron corpses are naturally incompatible attributes. Even a single turn of the power of thunder and lightning can cause certain damage to the iron corpses.
The iron corpses were trembling all over, and the power of thunder and lightning was destroying their bodies.
This was the second time that the Iron Corpses had to endure the baptism of the lightning power of the 'Nine-Turn Nano-Thunder Array'. Yesterday, after the twelve Iron Corpses stayed in the 'Nine-Turn Nano-Thunder Array' for three hours, they returned to the Corpse Refining Space to recover.
It was impossible for Li Shiming to really cause much damage to the Iron Corpses. He wanted to give it a try rather than let the Iron Corpses be wiped out by the power of thunder and lightning.
"Sure enough!" A smile appeared on his face. The twelve iron corpses he perceived had some good changes compared to yesterday's data.
Perhaps it would be difficult for other monks to find the difference between the subtle changes in two days.
But Li Shiming has his own magic weapon, IBMz15. The data he can observe is extremely detailed, and any slight change will be recorded and analyzed by his magic weapon, IBMz15.
This was only the second time that the twelve iron corpses had been baptized by the 'Nine-Turn Lightning Array'. Their ability to withstand lightning power had increased slightly. If this was judged in terms of data, it would be a change of three decimal places. But as long as there was improvement, there was hope.
His idea was very clear, which was to continuously improve the iron corpse's resistance to lightning power through the 'Nine-Turn Thunder Array'.
He will only allow the Iron Corpses to be promoted when their resistance is improved to the point where they are able to resist the heavenly thunder.
He also had two corpses of Jindan monks in his hands. One was given to his clone Li Yuanba by Elder Jian. It was the corpse of a body-refining arhat from Qianye Temple. This was the top-level corpse-refining furnace.
That arhat specializes in body refining. Once his corpse is refined into a silver corpse, its combat power will at least be comparable to the silver corpse that Elder Lu has cultivated for many years.
The other one is the corpse of the female cultivator Fang Lu. Being able to become a Jindan cultivator, Fang Lu has good talent. More importantly, this is the corpse of a female cultivator. Once it is refined into a corpse, the changes in the Yin and cold energy will be different from those of male corpses. Li Shiming is very interested in this.
However, he was not in a hurry to sacrifice the two Jindan corpses and refine them into refined corpses. He planned to wait until his strength increased a little before proceeding.
The ritual of refining a corpse is not only related to the original strength of the corpse, but also to the realm of the person who is refining it.
If he were to offer sacrifices to the corpse of the Body Refining Arhat now, he would probably only be able to have the strength of an early silver corpse at most. When his realm is raised to the middle stage of the Golden Core, he would still need a large amount of resources to increase the strength of the silver corpse.
He currently has no shortage of combat power. The combat power of a mid-stage silver corpse, plus the twelve prepared reserve silver corpses, is enough for him to deal with any trouble.
In addition, he has a hidden combat power, which is the Absolute Spirit Shape-shifting Snake.
The Absolute Soul Phantom Snake is not far from being promoted to the third rank. Once it is promoted to the third rank, any cultivator in the Golden Core stage may be killed by its sneak attack.
A message of magic flew over, he took it casually and sensed the information in it.
He glanced at the 'Nine-turn Na Lei Array', then turned and left the cave.
As long as he does not leave the Sword Holding Peak, with the connection between him and the Iron Corpses, his life-saving magic weapon IBMz15 will automatically monitor the situation of the twelve Iron Corpses and will not cause any problems to the Iron Corpses.
The person who came was his follower Ye Lingyun. Ever since Ye Lingyun became a foundation-building cultivator, one of Ye Lingyun's jobs was to pick up and deliver supplies for him.
Ye Lingyun has the power to enter and exit Chijian Peak freely, but if he wants to reach the top of Chijian Peak, he still needs to send a spell to Li Shiming.
"Sir, this is the elixir sent by Beishu Trading Company!" Ye Lingyun said respectfully as he handed over a storage bag.
Ye Lingyun’s identity is now very different from before. She was the first to be promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage, which made her stand out from the three followers.
With this advantage, she became Li Shiming's external liaison.
Li Shiming took the storage bag and scanned it with his spiritual sense. It contained the materials for three third-grade elixirs, which were an order from Beishu Trading Company.
In addition to refining elixirs for the sect's Jindan elders, he would also deliver orders from the Beishu Trading Company after obtaining the sect's approval.
He was a guest official of Beishu Trading Company. With the guest official status, he received many conveniences from Beishu Trading Company, especially a lot of scientific and technological research materials, which were obtained for him by Beishu Trading Company.
Those research materials might be considered relatively precious in the previous life, but in this world, as long as they are not spiritual objects, they are of no value.
Beishu Trading Company hired manpower to collect and transport items for Li Shiming, but it could be said that it not only did not make any profit, but actually lost a lot.
"This bottle of third-grade elixir should be sent over there through the previous channels!" Li Shiming nodded, took out a jade bottle from his space ring and instructed Ye Lingyun.
"Yes, sir!" Ye Lingyun took the jade bottle and replied.
She didn't need to ask any more questions, as she knew exactly where the third-grade elixir in the jade bottle was to be sent, and she would send it out through channels every once in a while.
As a follower, it was not something she could interfere with regarding her master's connection with the evil cultivators.
Besides, Li Shiming just has some connection with the evil cultivators. Given Li Shiming's status and position, it's no big deal for the sect to know about it.
Ye Lingyun’s current achievements are all due to his master.
Before she became Li Shiming's follower, she could only be regarded as an ordinary descendant of the immortal cultivation family. With her immortal cultivation talent, it was estimated that she would only stay in the Qi Refining Stage for her entire life, and her chance of becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator was slim.
After following Li Shiming, although she and two other followers were busy every day taking care of the spiritual fields on a mountain, they enjoyed treatment in terms of cultivation resources that even the true disciples of the sect could not enjoy.
There is a fixed supply of elixirs every month, which are personally refined by Li Shiming.
Just talking about the elixirs refined by Li Shiming, no matter what grade they were, they would be snatched up by countless cultivators if they were put outside.
It was precisely because of this kind of elixir that she, a Qi Refining cultivator with ordinary resources, was able to successfully break through to become a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Not only her, the other two followers have also reached the peak of Qi Refining, and the master has given them Foundation Establishment Pills.
However, Ye Lingyun was not worried about the two followers competing with her. She had already seized the initiative. Many important affairs of the master were handled by her. Even if the other two followers were successfully promoted, they would only become her assistants.
Li Shiming sent Ye Lingyun away and sent three elixirs into the computer room.
Inside the machine room, the Red Sun Spirit Fire in the Five Elements Nine Revolutions Furnace was already burning. A divine thought processed three spiritual medicines, and then the elixir refining began.
While refining the elixir, Li Shiming acted as if nothing had happened. A white lotus appeared under his feet, and his figure appeared in the underground factory area in the blink of an eye.
Now he no longer needs to concentrate on refining the elixir. Using one thought to refine the elixir is equivalent to his previous practice of refining the elixir with full concentration.
In the factory area, more than a hundred divine thoughts flew out and began to operate the various machines in the factory area.
Especially in the chip area, after refining the IBM z15 into his life-long magic weapon, he continued to make significant achievements in research, and the chip area was the most obvious.
The research data on chips is ready, and all he has to do is to manufacture qualified production machines based on the research data.
In the past, even though countless manpower and resources were invested and there were ready-made research results, progress in nano-scale chips was still very difficult.
This is a deficiency in basic industries. Many machines are not impossible to research, but the deficiency in basic industries makes it impossible to manufacture the materials needed for the components of the machines.
There is one thing about this world that is much better than the previous life, and that is the richness of materials.
Under the influence of spiritual energy, many spiritual objects have been derived. For example, in terms of metals, spiritual metals have characteristics that ordinary metals cannot match. Combined with the scientific synthesis of previous lives, multiple spiritual metals are synthesized with ordinary metals to obtain metals that far surpass those of previous lives.
In Li Shiming's previous research, a lot of time was spent on metal synthesis experiments.
Finding a variety of suitable alloy ratios requires countless experiments.
This work has made great progress with the help of IBM z15, the magic weapon of life.
One hundred and ninety-one brains are equal to one hundred and ninety-one researchers, and they are also supported by the computing power of IBM z15. Even the top researchers in the past could not compare with any of these one hundred and ninety-one brains.
He has completed about 80 percent of the research on nanoscale chips, and will be able to trial-produce the first generation of nanoscale chips in a while.
After being busy in the factory area for five hours, he stopped today's research and finished the work at hand.
At the same time, in his machine room, the first batch of third-grade elixirs came out of the furnace. He collected four of the six elixirs, and placed two elixirs separately in a jade bottle to be sent out. The four third-grade elixirs were his reward.
Then he began to refine the second batch of third-grade elixirs. Now, refining the elixir would no longer affect his daily affairs.
Even if a battle occurs, the alchemy in the computer room will not be disturbed. Among the 191 brains, only one brain can be used to complete the alchemy.
"It seems that I need to refine a few more furnaces!" Li Shiming thought to himself as he left the underground factory area.
In his opinion, at present, one 'Five Elements Nine Revolutions Furnace' magic weapon is too few, and he can only open one furnace at a time to refine pills.
If he had a few more magic furnaces, he could refine several elixirs at the same time.
In fact, even a veteran alchemy master like Elder Ma would not use the "Dividing the Spirit and Transforming the Mind Technique" when refining the third-grade elixir.
The refining of a third-grade elixir is extremely complicated. Even if you concentrate on refining it, problems may arise, not to mention the effort to refine several batches of third-grade elixirs at the same time.
Third-grade elixirs are too precious, and the loss caused by the increased failure rate is far more important than the time saved in refining the elixir.
But Li Shiming is different. His life magic weapon IBMz15 has 190 CPUs, and each CPU is equivalent to his brain. For him, if it were not for the limitations of the Red Sun Spirit Fire and the alchemy furnace magic weapon, he could open 191 furnaces to refine pills at the same time.
